Who is Hilti?

For more than a decade, Hilti has been recognized by Great Place to Work as one of the best places to work.

We offer innovative solutions for the construction industry, emphasizing a passionate, inclusive team and a performance-driven culture. A substantial amount of our profit goes to the Hilti Foundation, promoting societal growth and sustainable impact.

What does the role involve?

At Hilti, we provide diverse internship opportunities in our sustainability team, tailored to your academic and professional background:

With an environmental or technical background , you will help us to achieve our CO2-reduction goals, support us in our Circularity initiatives, gather information for certifications, work on energy-efficiency initiatives or the improvement of our buildings. 

Following your studies in marketing & communication or business administration , you will support the team with sustainability or circularity initiatives focused on our offering for customers or work on regulations. Other internship areas could be within communication, tool donation and our corporate volunteering program “Engaged Beyond Business.”

If IT or data management is your background, you will support us on data and reporting projects, focusing on the corporate perspective or the product view. 

You will work in a highly motivated team and will be in charge of your own projects. This includes independent alignments with stakeholders within the organization, structuring and processing contents as well as bringing forth and implementing improvement processes. You’ll work closely with our experts to develop our way to drive sustainability at Hilti.

Clara, Intern Corporate Sustainability: “Right at the beginning of my internship, I was warmly welcomed by the team and was directly assigned my own project. I was not only able to work independently on a task but at the same time I had the opportunity to contribute to team projects. This approach allowed me to sharpen my project-management, communication, and critical-thinking skills from the beginning on. Through the regular exchange in the team, I broadened my understanding of sustainability and acquired valuable insights for navigating a dynamic work environment.”

What do we offer?

Joining our headquarters in Schaan, Nendeln, or Buchs connects you with a diverse community of over 2,100 colleagues from 70 nationalities in a region where Liechtenstein, Austria, and Switzerland intersect. Our employee groups actively support causes like female empowerment and the LGBTQAI+ community and offer leisure activities like mountain biking and tennis. We also provide opportunities for community engagement both locally and internationally.
